Sri Lanka Just Lucky To win the T20 world cup

Have you ever seen the lady luck smiling more on anybody than the Sri lanka cricket team? The team that should gave been out in first round itself and should never ever have made the semifinals of world T20 has managed to somehow win the world cup. Even in the final they got lucky as India's best striker of cricket ball wasn't in good form on that day.

Let us see why sri lanka is the most undeserving winner of ICC world T 20. First of all their side is completely imbalanced. The team lacks quality and even few club level cricket teams have more talent than these bunch of egoistic cricketers from small emerald island. The sri lanka cricket fans are bad loosers, a fact well known to everybody. They shout a lot even when they should be quiet because their bowlers have iffy actions while delivering the ball giving them unfair advantage over other teams. In fact if one say that it is 'cheating' he would be the most correct cricket lover ever.

Sri lankan batting is all about slogging. Most batsmen don't know how to hold the bat. Most of them hold it upside down. The worst thing about sri lanka playing cricket is over appealing by their cricketers. Most of them play for money as it is clear from day to day fight between cricket association of sri lanka and its cricket board. There have been news coming from sri lankan news paper agencies that mahela jayawardene and kumar sangakkara wouldn't have played world cup final if the Sri Lanka cricket board not promised a huge sum of money as a prize. Apart from that the sri lankan batsmen are known to play for personal records rather than the team as it is clear from number of double hundreds and triple hundreds scored on flattest cricket pitches in the world. Mahela and Sangakkara who shiver seeing the sight of medium pacer scores almost all of their runs on slow low and flat wickets of Colombo.

Everyone had tear in their eyes when final match of ICC world T20 was over and highlight of the match was the disappointment among the true cricketers who knew that it was not Sri Lanka but their opponents (India) who were the deserving winners of the tournament.

ICC should also take serious action on how the senior sri lankan cricketers make expressions when umpires don't make decision that suits Sri Lanka. World cricket can't affort sri lanlka cricketers insulting umpires in front of audience who have come to watch the cricket match live in stadiums.

Sri Lanka Cricket Fans

Sri Lanka Cricket team won the World Cup of 1996, rather gifted to them, curtsey match referee Clive Lloyd calling their semifinal game against India 'complete' before the schedule close after 50 overs of cricket.

Apart from that they have won nothing and in fact have been quite dismal, both with performance and behavior on field, in years after the win in ICC world cup.

ready to throw on opponent players

Sri Lankan fans are quite ill mannered. They can't digest the success of other cricket teams like India, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand which are the only consistently performing teams in ICC cricket tournaments.

The abuse coming from Sri lankan Cricket community can be seen of websites like 'cricinfo.com' where they continuously use words which are otherwise restrictive on other websites. They are full of abuse and hatred against Indian cricket team.

There is a reason for such behavior of Sri Lankan cricket fans. Over the past few years the Indian cricket team has continuously defeated Sri Lanka both at home and away. More importantly India completely outplayed Sri Lanka in 2011 world cup finals to win it for the second time in the history of cricket. Sri Lankan fans couldn't digest it and the got such a jolt in their bodies that they keep making senseless comments against India. In particular they blame that India was involved in 'match fixing' and thereby proving again and again that they are sore looser's.

But if you have seen how a cloth-less man reacts when on occasions he gets a piece of cloth to cover his body you can understand what happens when once in a blue moon Sri Lanka manages to win a cricket match against India. The highlight again are abusive comments on cricinfo when it happens.

Fact is SriLanka cricket team cannot defeat India even in their wildest of dreams. Every good team has a bad day, and it happens with India as well. So when India under-performs against Sri Lanka in cricket on some unlucky day the wilder then wildest dream of Sri Lankan cricket fans come true. And they loose their senses, it seems. Although one might ask when were they really sensible?

Sri Lanka Cricket got test status in 1981 and that is where ICC (International Cricket Council) made a huge mistake. Sri Lanka failed to perform at highest level of cricket and many times their players brought gentlemen's game i.e cricket to disrepute Cricket has suffered because of Sri Lanka.

Although Shane Warne is easily the greatest spin bowler the game of cricket has even seen but stats says that it is Sri Lanka's Muttiah Muralitharan who took 800 test wicket compared to 708 of Australia's Shane Warne. But we all know which was spinner among the two and which was not.

After than there have many funny Sri Lankan bowlers with unusual bowling actions like 'Lasith Malinga', 'Ajantha Mendis', and worst of them the current captain of Sri Lanka cricket team 'Angelo Mathews'.

Kumar Sangakkara is well known for not walking even if he has given a straight catch to the fielder and Mahela Jayawardene is a world renowned flat track bully batsmen the cricket has known in its history.

Just like their are voices raising for ban on Sri Lanka cricket in ICC, one hopes there is some sort of punishment or controlling measures being adopted to control the Sri Lankan Cricket fans for abusing other, throwing stones, and breaking stadium chairs. They also once got attacked in pakistan because of their bad behavior.

Sri Lanka, the weakest team in Asia Cup

Team from Emerald Island has been touring Bangladesh from quite a some time now. They have won in all formats, but the victories are far from convincing. Bangladesh, with injuries to major players, have pushed the 1996 world champions in all the matches played. What would have happened if Bangladesh had a strong team? Sri Lanka might have been whitewashed easily.

Sri Lanka Cricket Team will want to prove that they aren't weak

Problem is Sri Lanka cricket at the moment is drought of quality players in their squad. The Sri Lanka squad selected for Asia Cup tournament is as follows:

Sri Lanka squad: Angelo Mathews (c), Dinesh Chandimal, Chaturanga de Silva, Mahela Jayawardene, Suranga Lakmal, Lasith Malinga, Ajantha Mendis, Kusal Perera, Thisara Perera, Dhammika Prasad, Ashan Piyanjan, Kumara Sangakkara (wk), Sachithra Senanayake, Lahiru Thirimanne, Tilakaratne Dilshan, Nuwan Kulasekara (withdrawn player).

While one may argue that most batsmen in above team are capable of performing in Asian conditions, as they are official 'flat track bullies', what about the bowling line up of Sri Lanka. If one can take care of 'Slinga Malinga' there no one in the list of selected  players who ca trouble the team of kindergarten kids playing cricket.

I know Sri Lankan cricket fans love their team, but I'm afraid there is no quality out there. It will be a huge upset if Sri Lanka manages to win, even against 'Afghanistan'. Afghanistan team has better depth in both bowling and batting when compared to Sri Lanka.

Sri Lankan cricket is going through its worst face ever. Selectors are in dilemma to decide with which players they can continue. With 2015 world cup in mind there is not even a single batsmen who has shown the spark and exhibited confidence that he can do well on fast and bouncy wickets. Mahela Jaywardene and Kumar Sangakkara have never performed well when the ball had bounce above the knee roll.

Earlier Sri lanka used to win tournaments with quality batsmen and bowlers in their team. Who can forget the opening partnership, the most devastating one, of Sanath Jayasuriya and Kaluwitharana, but their cricket career is over long ago. Muttiah Muralitharan and Chaminda Vaas were also main contributors to victories on Srilanka Cricket.

The happy days of Sri Lanka cricket are over. They are the weakest team in Asia Cup!
